NBC recently ordered a new fitness-focused reality series from Biggest Loser creator David Broome titled S.T.R.O.N.G. Pardon us while we eat an entire gallon of ice cream as a way of saying farewell.
The peacock sent a statement to Access Hollywood confirming that Sweeney will not be returning to host the show’s 17th season, which is set to begin shooting in September.
The Biggest Loser premiered in 2004 and is a contest to help overweight contestants lose weight with professional trainers.
The Biggest Loser has been a reliable ratings performer for the network since it’s premiere.
The former Days of Our Lives actress doesn’t seem too down in the dumps about her departure.

In addition to her hosting duties on “Biggest Loser“, Sweeney is best known for playing Sami Brady on long-running soap opera “Days of Our Lives“, which she departed in 2014, after more than two decades. So now the hunt is on for a new Biggest Loser host, as NBC apparently doesnt have anyone ready to go just yet.
